Clarity. Ownership. A Business That Runs Without You.

R Mark Coaching is led by Ryan Markewich, a landscape business owner with more than 30 years of experience building, scaling, and transitioning a company from the ground up. As founder of Creative Roots Landscaping, Ryan grew the business and successfully transitioned 85% ownership to five key employees.

He now works with landscape owners who are successful on paper but overwhelmed in practice. Owners who feel stuck carrying the weight alone. Owners who want stronger teams, healthier profits, and a business that doesn’t depend entirely on them.

Ryan’s work sits at the intersection of business strategy and people leadership. He helps owners build financially literate teams, align culture with numbers, and create accountability that drives performance without burnout.

How R Mark Can Help You:

Many landscape owners hit a ceiling not because of market conditions, but because their team doesn’t understand the business.

Financials stay in the office. Strategy stays in the owner’s head. Employees execute tasks but don’t see how their work impacts profit, cash flow, or growth. The result is disengagement, frustration, and an owner who feels alone.

Ryan helps owners change that dynamic.

He works directly with leadership teams to simplify financial visibility, strengthen communication, and build shared accountability. Employees begin to understand how the company makes money, how decisions affect margins, and how their role contributes to results.

The outcome is higher engagement, stronger culture, clearer decision-making, and a business that performs because the entire team understands the mission.

Meet Ryan Markewich

Ryan is a builder at heart. He understands the physical and mental demands of growing a landscape company because he has lived them for over three decades.

After transitioning majority ownership of his company internally, he chose to focus on helping other owners experience less loneliness and more clarity in leadership. His style is calm, direct, and grounded in experience. He meets owners where they are and helps them slow down enough to focus on what truly matters.

Outside of business, Ryan enjoys fishing, photography, travel, and time with his three adult children. He believes a business should enhance your life, not consume it.
